BCG Attorney Search Reviews

Working with BCG gave me access to opportunities that weren't necessarily posted in the market place. The job I ended up accepting, the firm wasn't advertising an open role but my legal placement professional sent my resume to them anyway and they were interested and interviewed me. If I hadn't been working with BCG I would not have had the opportunity that I ended up taking.Something I found helpful was the website where I could login to my account and look at the firms that had open positions and I could pick which ones I was interested in and keep track through the website of where I had applied and where I was in the process. Having that organization was really helpful. Also, before interviews I had phone calls with my legal placement professional where she went through some tips on topics to cover, topics to avoid, how to answer questions. I found that information very useful and used that information she gave me to create an outline that I then used to prepare for every interview. Q. Where would we rank amongst other recruiting firms that you may have used?A. The highest! I had the most success through you guys but also it seemed to be the most comprehensive. I reached out to several other recruiting firms early in the process and BCG immediately responded and some other firms responded slowly or not at all. BCG immediately set me up with an account and it came together very quickly and very naturally.

My recruiter contacted me quickly after my initial contact with BCG. She took the time to get to know me and understand my job search requirements. She identified all possible openings for me, and contacted me often with new job opportunities and updates on my job search. My recruiter also returned my emails and phone calls promptly, was knowledgeable about the market, was an advocate for me and had my best interest at heart. She also prepared me well for my interviews. I would use this recruiter and BCG again if I am ever looking for another position.

[My favorite thing about BCG was] the communication, with everyone working together across markets and communicating with me as well...I mainly worked with my legal placement professional and she was very on top of everything. She was also very helpful and knowledgeable with interviews and knowing the process, so she helped me a lot with that...it was very responsive [and] took a lot of the time off my hands. Communicating with the firms and also handling some of the awkward conversation situations, being that middle person really helped [made my job search easier]. [The words that come to mind when I think of BCG are] friendly, professional, and top tier. I've worked with several recruiters and overall BCG was just much better. Based on the recruiting companies that I worked with I would say [you are] number one. And I've worked with someone at Parker Lynch, Wegman, and then a couple of other solo people. Each for different reasons, I think BCG was the best. [BCG] was very friendly and knowledgeable and responsive. They have good connections to the firms and a good brand for getting you out there and working for different firms to get you where you want to be.

Harrison, thank you! I am grateful for all that you and your team have done for me. While I did not receive a direct placement from BCG, I read every article on your site and adhered to the advice. I believe your insights and encouragement contributed to my success. I will absolutely recommend my peers contact you for potential opportunities.

My favorite thing about working with BCG Attorney Search and Harrison Barnes was that they provided a really comprehensive list of potential employers and it was simple for me to apply to those employers. Essentially all I had to do was green light them and BCG took care of the rest. This made my job search easier because it was super passive on my end and all I had to do was review the employers list and green light the ones I wanted BCG to apply to on my behalf and then BCG took care of the rest so there wasn't really a lot that I had to do which freed up to do other things. BCG Attorney Search is the best legal recruiting firm that I have worked with. During my job hunt, I was contacted by 2 other recruiting firms, and BCG was the one that got me the job. I had the best luck working with them and they also set me up with an actual attorney who prepped me for interviews and that was really helpful. They were also the most responsive. The other recruiting firms that had reached out didn't do a great job of responding to my emails and other correspondence.

This was my first time working with a recruiter and my legal placement professional was more than I could have hoped for. She was amazing. She took the time to get to know me and what my goals were and what me and my family wanted for my legal career and she tailored her search for firms to meet those needs and she was interested and engaging and responsive, very very very responsive to inquiries I had or emails I sent, really quick turnaround time throughout the interview process called and asked how the interviews went and took an interest in all of that, I couldn't have asked for a better experience with my legal placement professional BCG was awesome too. I really enjoyed the websites interface in particular how it identified the firms I had applied to and kept a status update as to if they were under consideration, pass or interview, so very positive experience all around. [Working with BCG] made it easier in every sense of the word. Number 1, BCG did all of the leg work really, they did the applications, my legal placement professional more or less prepared my cover letter. I wouldn't have had the time in my day to do this. We applied to 25 or 30 firms and that would have taken me alone, several days to do. My legal placement professional also helped me select my writing sample that I was going to use and reviewed my resume so all of that made my job search easier. I would recommend anybody that was looking for a job in the legal profession to use BCG based on my experience. I haven't used other recruiters but my experience was just so good that I would send anybody that cared to ask me, BCG's way.There was one other recruiter that I had reached out to prior to BCG but they actually had told me that they couldn't work with me because I hadn't received my Califormia bar results yet and to come back in 3 months. I was a bit dejected by that call and then my legal placement professional said let's get going and I ended up getting a job before bar results even came out. It was something the other recruiter dropped the ball on and BCG clearly didn't.

My favorite things about working with BCG Attorney Search were the search engine or the way you provide updates for openings, which were definitely a huge thing. I also liked your vast network of different professionals in different cities. I worked Brian was very responsive. Working with BCG Attorney Search took all the work out of it for me. I never had to look for anything; they let me know the search updates. They also let me make my own decisions about what to apply to. The first three words that come to mind when I think of BCG Attorney Search are professional, client oriented, and knowledgeable. I would rank BCG Attorney Search at the top compared to other recruiting companies. I have actually referred a number of people to you already. I would describe BCG Attorney Search as great to work with and very hard working. With my legal placement professional, she didn't just look for open positions, she also tried to work with contacts at various firms that may or may not have had open positions. I had worked with a couple different firms before and none of them were willing to do that.

My legal placement professional was always really quick about responding to my questions when I had them in the interview process and during the job search. I thought it was a very efficient process overall. Definitely recommend it! I didn't really apply that much on my own for firms. You basically did all the work for me so it made it incredibly easy. I thought it was a great experience. Q. Where would we rank amongst other recruiting company's you have used?A. I have only used 2, but so far you would be #1!

I really appreciated Jessica's responsiveness and how quickly she got me interviews and that I was able to get a job very quickly. She was easy to communicate with and was always available. The responsiveness of a recruiter makes a big difference. Other recruiters are slow to get back with you or take forever to provide new law firms so working with BCG made it very quick. I have only worked with one other recruiting company and you guys are certainly better than them.

Brian placed me at a top law firm, and I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking an excellent legal job. My goal was to work at a law firm where I could make a valuable contribution with my particular background. From the first day that I began working with Brian, he was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and supportive. They gave me invaluable advice and answered all of my questions throughout the process. Brian worked very hard in finding every opportunity that could be a good fit for me. They are highly regarded and well connected in the legal community, so I knew that I was in good hands. Brian placed me at a law firm that is the perfect fit for me given my career aspirations and I am very grateful for all their help.
